The relationship between frontier inhabitants like those at No. 4 and the Native Americans whose homeland they were on was complex. - In times of peace, No. 4 inhabitants had the opportunity to interact with the native population, mostly Abenaki. - This included establishing a trading relationship with the local Indians. - The account book of Phineas Stevens who set up a trading post at No. 4 reveals how often he traded with the Indians. - This relationship was disrupted during times of conflict. - Relations were already tense by the early 1740s when war from Europe spread to America (King George’s War 1744-1748). - Located in the midst of Indian routes and the river, the families at No. 4 experienced this conflict first hand. - [b]Since they arrived at the settlement, they lived in fear of being attacked or captured by Native warriors allied with the French soldiers.[/b] - The inhabitants of No. 4 held a meeting in 1743 where they decided to build a fort that would offer protection for the families.
